Chapter 269 [Painting in a Bottle] (II)
Luo Lie said: "Then aren't you a saint?"
Bai Yunfei said with a smile: "How can a saint be as happy as a mortal. He sat down on the bench and left a place for Luo Lie: "Brother, there is no one else anyway, let's talk here." ”
Luo Lie sat down beside Bai Yunfei.
Bai Yunfei said: "I know you will definitely agree." ”
Luo Lie said: "I didn't say anything. ”
Bai Yunfei said: "You should have guessed that this matter is related to Mu Sanye. He leaned closer to Luo Lie and said in a low voice, "Do you remember the safe in the underground palace of the Old Summer Palace?"
Of course, Luo Lie will not forget.
Bai Yunfei said: "When people have nothing, they will do everything they can to have wealth and power, but when he gets these things, he realizes that the most precious thing is not these, but life, even if he gives you all the wealth and power in the world, he must have enough time to enjoy it." ”
Luo Lie didn't speak, Bai Yunfei said this is indeed irrefutable, Mu Sanshou deliberately dug so many pits, and its ultimate purpose was not for the wealth left by Prince Rui Yixun, in fact, he had already occupied a lot of Yixun's wealth, and used his own ability to snowball that wealth, it can be said that the wealth created by Mu Sanshou with his hands is not even inferior to Yixun's net worth back then.
But no matter how powerful Mu Sanshou is, it is still difficult to escape the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death, and the most precious wealth that Yixun has is not gold, silver and jewelry, but a secret recipe that may exist, the secret recipe of immortality.
Bai Yunfei said: "Prince Rui must have seen Zhang Taixu. ”
Luo Lie laughed: "Do you really believe that Zhang Taixu has refined into an elixir of immortality?"
Bai Yunfei said: "There are some things that can never be believed without going through them, just like the underground palace of the Old Summer Palace." ”
Luo Lie secretly wondered in his heart, should he have the idea of the underground palace of the Old Summer Palace? After all, there are still a lot of treasures hidden in it.
Bai Yunfei said: "Have you ever wondered why Yixun would spend so much effort to put a celadon bottle in the safe?"
Luo Lie was stunned by his question, as a person who experienced the whole process of this matter, Luo Lie was very clear about every detail of what happened, there was only one celadon bottle in the safe, and the porcelain bottle contained a highly corrosive liquid, which could melt metal, and it was by no means an immortal liquid. Why did Yixun put such a bottle of liquid in the safe? Is it just to murder latecomers with ulterior motives?
Bai Yunfei said: "At that time, everyone was in a hurry to escape, but they ignored one of the most important things. ”
Luo Lie suddenly realized: "Celadon bottle?"
Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "Brother Luo is really thorough. ”
Luo Lie was secretly ashamed in his heart, he was thinking about escaping at the time, and he didn't notice the celadon vase itself at all, so he could see that Bai Yunfei's thoughtfulness was above himself. In fact, everyone's concerns are different, Luo Lie was thinking about how he and his companions could get out of trouble safely, and there were no selfish distractions, but Bai Yunfei had other plans.
Bai Yunfei said: "The celadon vase was brought out by me. ”
Luo Lie said: "Mr. Mu's curiosity is really heavy. ”
Bai Yunfei said: "I'm just curious, why such a thing is hidden so deeply, and it is not unusual for Mu Sanye and them to succeed each other." When I brought the vase out, I found it nothing unusual at first, and then I put it aside as a memento of my adventure, but one day someone gave me a snuffbox. ”
When Luo Lie heard this, he had already guessed the mystery in his heart.
Bai Yunfei continued: "When I saw the inner painting of the snuff bottle, I couldn't help but think of the celadon bottle, but I didn't expect to be guessed by me to guess the secret, it is not easy to completely cut the celadon bottle in half, but it is not difficult to put it together after breaking it, what I want to see is only the secret in it." ”
Aside from Bai Yunfei's purpose, Luo Lie couldn't help but admire Bai Yunfei, if it weren't for his persistent exploration, maybe the secret would be buried in the palace of the Old Summer Palace forever.
Bai Yunfei said: "There is a map drawn in that porcelain vase. ”
Luo Lie said: "Do you suspect that the map may point to another treasure hiding place?"
Bai Yunfei took out the map from his pocket, it was a map that he had repaired and rebuilt, and there were four words on it - too illusory.
Bai Yunfei said: "This map is copied and copied by me according to the inner painting, too illusory, too virtual two words may refer to Zhang Taixu, as for the illusion, it should be the treasure place, Zhang Taixu's treasure place, what else will the treasure he collected in addition to the prescription of immortality?"
Luo Lie unfolded the map and looked at it, he didn't agree with Bai Yunfei's words, people are often blindfolded by desire, Bai Yunfei's desire for the elixir of life is obvious, so he easily linked these four words to Zhang Taixu's body.
Luo Lie paid more attention to the map itself, and it didn't take long to see the clues from the map, and said in a low voice: "This map seems to be near the Sea of Japan, the closest to Yokohama?"
Bai Yunfei nodded and said, "That's right! The highlighted place you saw is the place where Prince Rui was assassinated at sea back then, just near Yokohama. ”
Luo Lie said: "You mean this is too illusory around Japan?"
Bai Yunfei said: "Judging from the map inside the celadon vase, this should be the case. ”
Luo Lie said: "Where is the fragment of the celadon vase?
Bai Yunfei shook his head and said, "I can guarantee that this map is a copy of me as it is, and the only change is to enlarge it according to the original scale." ”
Luo Lie concluded from his words that Bai Yunfei would not show him the original of the celadon vase, could it be that there were other secrets in the celadon vase? I don't know why he suddenly remembered Simon, who had also brought a map before, and kept saying that he was going to find the Fantasy Island, and the island in his mouth should have nothing to do with the too illusory realm that Bai Yunfei said, but he had a strange idea, and there seemed to be some unknown connection between the two.
Luo Lie said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Bai Yunfei said: "You have outstanding ability, and you know the inside story, and the most important thing is that I trust you, if it were someone else, I would definitely not tell him this secret." ”
Luo Lie said: "You are not afraid that I have really found the elixir of life, and I will hide it secretly, or I will eat it myself." ”
Bai Yunfei stared at Luo Lie's eyes and said, "You won't, immortality doesn't mean anything to people like you." ”
Luo Lie laughed, Bai Yunfei actually knew a little about himself, yes, what is the meaning of immortality to him? A never-ending life is nothing more than the repetition of day after day, for him who has already experienced too much pain, for him who can't sleep all night, doesn't such repetition mean endless torture?
Bai Yunfei slowly said his conditions: "I will provide you with all the funds and equipment you need, as long as you help me complete this matter, I will settle all the troubles in Huangpu for you, as long as you are in Huangpu for one day, I will be able to guarantee your safety." Bai Yunfei didn't exaggerate, nor did he take care of everything, after all, his current sphere of influence can only take into account Huangpu, if Luo Lie walks out of this city, he really can't make a 100% guarantee.
Luo Lie didn't really care about Bai Yunfei's assurance, although his state was far from returning to his peak, he was still confident to ensure his safety, but he couldn't guarantee the safety of his friends around him. Having Bai Yunfei's assurance was a good thing after all, not to mention that he had a strong interest in what Bai Yunfei talked about.
Bai Yunfei said: "You can form your team freely, and I will not interfere in any way." ”
Luo Lie said: "What if I can't find what you want?"
Bai Yunfei said: "As long as you do it with your heart, there will be no ifs." ”
Luo Lie looked at Bai Yunfei, he actually had such a strong confidence in himself, this seemed a little abnormal. Judging from Bai Yunfei's performance, he seems to be full of confidence in controlling the overall situation, does he have any handle in his hands? Luo Lie did not continue to ask questions, but slowly folded the map, and said softly: "I need a month and a half to prepare." ”
Bai Yunfei was a little stunned when he heard this: "So long?"
Luo Lie nodded and said, "Since you have drawn this map with your own hands, you should pay attention to the places marked on it. ”
Bai Yunfei frowned, he didn't think that much information could be seen in this marked location.
Luo Lie said: "When Prince Rui Yixun was killed, it was on the seventh day of the lunar month, and there were still nearly two months before that day. ”
Bai Yunfei said: "Could it be that this location will not change?"
Luo Lie said: "I don't know, I just know that the sea water will be different throughout the year, and this map doesn't say anything." ”
Bai Yunfei said: "I suspect that the Illusory Realm is hidden on several small islands around Yixun's murder. ”
"It's so easy, why don't you go yourself?"
Bai Yunfei was speechless.
Luo Lie said: "Do you know that in this sea area alone, there are thousands of desert islands that are uninhabited, not including large and small rocks, and I can't be sure of the authenticity of the map you provided." ”
Bai Yunfei realized that Luo Lie was using this method to force himself to take out the porcelain vase, but his heart did not waver in any way: "What you see is all. ”
Luo Lie said: "During this time, I will look for a ship that is strong and safe enough, and I will also look for a few experienced and trustworthy crew members, and I will also learn the details of Prince Rui's assassination that year. ”
Bai Yunfei said: "I am responsible for the ship and crew, as for Ye Qinghong, you can only rely on yourself." ”
